Biba Isla is a life saver! When I thought I'd never have healthy and long hair again, she initially offered her consultation in order to inform me of why my hair was acting the way it was. After my first appointment with Biba, I swear I've never seen my hair look so healthy and shiny! My haircut allowed my hair to grow so much while being very complimentary to my face shape😍. I love how she recommended the perfect color for my hair that I'd never thought would make a difference, I get compliments all the time and cannot stop looking in the mirror. I will always rely on Biba's service and advice.

I LOVE having Biba care for my hair! She’s creative, gives great cuts and makes sure your hair stays healthy and looking beautiful. The space is relaxing in every way, smells good, feels good. Biba is always ready for me when I get there, no long waits and your session is never rushed. She takes her time, making sure that the final result is flawless. Great location and easy parking. You owe it to yourself to book a session!

Best. Haircut. Ever. I love Biba. She's sweet, warm, knowledgeable about products/techniques, professional, so easy to talk to, and is by far the most talented hair stylist I've ever seen. Her work is consistently the best haircut I've ever had. I have curly/wavy hair, which is hard to cut - especially for our climate here in New Orleans. Biba's cuts make my hair look 5x thicker and the cut lasts forever. They say get it cut every 6-8 weeks, but her last cut was so good, it lasted 14 weeks before I realized I needed another one. Oops :) Highly recommend seeing Biba. Love love love her. (The cool salon space is an added bonus!)

People stop me loving my hair! Biba Isla Salon is 1 of a kind, I relocated to NO from Los Angeles, I search for a stylist for months then found Biba! She is so talented & an amazing beautiful being that transforms hair! My hair is growing, my styles last in this NO weather & she is worth every penny!

Biba did a wonderful job on my bridesmaid hair for my Dad‘s wedding two weeks ago. My hair is thin and difficult to work with, but Biba had no trouble making me look and feel like a princess. 10/10 would recommend for any and every event ♥️

Cynthia Jackson

My daughter and I have seen Biba for 3+ years now. I have straight fine hair and my daughter curly mixed hair. We both receive so many compliments. My color and highlights are so natural looking that another hairdresser thought it was my natural color. I love going to Biba’s! It is so relaxing every time I come.

Biba did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was beyond perfect. She looked at a few pictures I had picked out for inspiration and we talked a little about what I had in mind. That was all it took and she absolutely nailed it. She's a real professional and a lovely person. The products she uses are great and her own line of lipsticks is fantastic. I would recommend her service to anyone!

Biba works magic with hair, though it’s really her experience and talent which makes it seem like magic. I’ve been a repeat client for a few years now. Complete strangers have complimented my hair, from the guy in the grocery store parking lot a few days after the hair cut (there’s no awkward just-after-haircut stage for me with Biba’s cuts) to someone telling me when I’m months and months overdue for a cut, “great haircut!” I love that part of Biba’s philosophy is to cut for the moment and also for growing out. Besides the high quality service which includes Biba taking time and care with my hair, spending the time with Biba during my haircuts is lovely. She’s interesting and authentic. I’ve recommended her to both friends and guests at the hotel I work at.

What a blessing to discover Biba! I was in NOLA for work and needed hair styling and makeup done at the hotel, with little notice. Biba made it happen. I looked great thanks to her talents and felt great thanks to her positive energy. Very grateful to have found her and recommend her highly to locals and visitors alike.

Petal Salon

Very skilled and experienced stylist! Knows the ins and outs of any service and style! There's nothing she can't do!

Danielle Chopp

Very positive and uplifting environment. I have curly fine hair with some curls not as curly as others. Biba explained and taught me some simple skills that will help my hair stay curly with the volume I prefer while living in our humid environment. I loved my entire visit with her and natural flow of conversation along with learning how to get my hair looking healthy again. The hot tea on a rainy day was another plus. I liked the products she used and bought some to take home. She made sure I understood how to use them; and its a plus that you really don't need to use much of the product as the quality can go a long way. Im happy I found Biba on yelp and noticed all the excellent reviews; bc, now I have finally found the right stylist for me to see on a regular basis!

Biba Isla is a true professional. Before any work is done, she discusses what your goals are and the best, most healthy way to get you there. Her salon provides VIP, one-on-one treatment to all customers and covers hair cutting, coloring, make-up, nails and any other aesthetic need. Highly recommended!

Kaitlin Bell

Had a Hair & Make-up trial done for my wedding next month. It was perfect. She really listened to what I wanted and executed beautifully. Biba is on the 3rd floor and I was met downstairs and walked up. The space has 2 LARGE windows that let in a ton of natural light. This is NOT a busy salon. The owner, two chairs, natural light, breezy feel and the bleached hardwood are what you get. Hair and make up trial lasted 2.5 hours, and even though we went over on time, i wasn't rushed out the door. Like, even a little. I left feeling like a movie star. I can't wait to go again.

Biba is the most talented hair artist I have met. When I walked out of her salon last week I felt like a super model. I now have exactly what I wanted for so long, an edgy haircut that I can style, that works with, not against, my hair and looks fantastic. Everywhere I go people are stopping me to tell me they love my hair. I don't live in NOLA but you can bet I'll be coming back to Biba for my haircuts in the future because I'm not letting anyone else cut my hair. XOXOXOXO P.S. Ignore the pic on this review, it's old. I'll post a pic of my new cut soon.

This is hands down one of the best salons I have been to! Biba is so friendly and personable and she did an amazing job with my haircut. I was going from long hair to short and I absolutely love what she did. I really enjoyed the private experience of her salon and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place!

Biba fit three of us in last minute on a Sunday for wedding up-dos and glamorous blow-outs. She is the consomate professional and is an artist with her craft. She gave my mom a gorgeous, volumous blow-out with curls. She gave my 6-year old girl (the Flower Girl) the most gorgeous spiral curls - making her the prettiest she has ever looked. For me, she did a modern blow-out with a round brush, making me feel like a 40s movie star. The salon is beautiful, with seafoam green-gray walls, chandelier and crisp white trim. Very private 3rd floor loft, giving you custom, personalized attention and pampering. I highly recommend Biba - send all your friends and family! BEST in New Orleans.

I visited Biba and her wonderful salon in January at the beginning of this year. I meant to write a review months ago, but life got in the way. However, I will never forgot the fantastic service and treatment I received at Biba's place of business. After all she and her staff did for me, I owe it to them to leave a positive review. So here it goes... I was visiting New Orleans for the Wizard World Convention being held downtown in early 2016. I am very much in to cosplay and was attending this con as the Black Widow from the Marvel Universe. On Saturday, I was going to meet my all time favorite actor Jeremy Renner as the Black Widow, and I wanted my hair and makeup to be fantastic!! The fleek-est of fleek! I did some research and after some time spent searching online I knew that Biba's salon was the place for me. There was only one snag: I had to be at a Marvel panel at 11am on Saturday, and the salon opened at 10am. There just simply wasn't enough time beforehand. Immediately after the panel was my scheduled meet and greet with Renner so I would have no time to leave, get my hair and makeup done, then return in time to see him. The timing of it all was terrible, but I decided to take a chance and still touch base with Biba to see if there was anything she could do. After a talking a bit about what I wanted done, I mentioned my time constraints. Maybe I shouldn't be telling the whole internet this because I fear of setting a precedence, but Biba graciously (and without a hint of persuasion from me) agreed to arrive early at her salon so that I would be on time for everything! If that wasn't amazing enough, her makeup artist-who's name escapes me I'm afraid- also agreed to start her work day early to make me beautiful. I was blown away. It is a rare thing to find such consideration and customer service now a days, especially with such a bizarre situation as mine. Now on to the actual salon visit... Biba is a fantastic hair stylist! She is friendly, chatty (but not overbearing), and comes with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Listening to her talk about the history of New Orleans and her time there was entertainment enough; no need to idly chat about the weather. Her salon is beautiful, immaculate, and modern while maintaining that old, traditional "Nah-lens" feel. hehe While I wasn't in the market for product at the time, the lines she carries are top notch and of the highest of quality. I loved every single product she used in my hair. I was so happy with the end results (soft and loose curls) that I almost left right then and there, forgetting about getting my makeup done. The makeup artist Biba works with is nothing if not a skilled professional. She knows her trade like the back of her hand, and while she was well trained in all the 'new' fads- such as contouring and highlighting-she knows the principles of good makeup design like very few do! She mixes and blends airbrushed foundations that are customized to your skin tone. She took my awkward and un-educated requests for a smokey eye with grace and ran with it, putting her own amazing twist on it. I came out looking exactly what I hoped for but not at all what I was expecting. I almost cried with how beautiful my reflection looked at the end of the appointment. That's how brilliant this salon is! Through all this, I hadn't changed into my costume yet. It was hot, uncomfortable and just plain awkward outside of the convention so I waited until the last possible minute to put everything on. I was self-conscious to say the least. I meekly told Biba and her other employees to "not laugh at me" when I came out of the bathroom as the Black Widow. Not only were they polite and accepting, they were excited and enthusiastic. Such an unexpected response left me on cloud nine. When I met Renner later that day he commented on how beautiful I looked. #lifemade Thanks Biba! You made my dreams come true!! <3 In summation...go here, 'nuff said.

A little too pricey for the type of service I received. After washing my hair the first time after my cut; I found my hair unevenly cut. One side longer than the other and back sides also not even. I requested no layering, and thats exactly why I got. Very disappointed and having to go to another hairdresser to correct the cut.

Theresa Hohgrawe

I was recently traveling for business to New Orleans, and wanted to find a salon that could help me manage my tangled and dry extensions. Biba Isla exceeded my expectations by far. The quality of the service is something to rave about, as well as the friendly and kind hearted salon owner . I look forward to returning to Biba Isla on future business trips.

Glow and flow hair! My search to find a stellar hairstylist ended New Orleans with Biba. This salon is very knowledgeable with hair maintenance especially dealing with the humidity.

Sara Albee

I just got the best haircut I've ever had! She knew what I wanted and what would look good even when I gave her a fairly vague description of what I was seeking. It is the kind of cut that I don't have to do a lot with to make it look good. I am not into spending a lot of time on my hair, so its perfect for me. She really knows what she is doing! Highly recommended!

Yesenia Isibor

She is amazing. I went to her in November based on her online reviews and I was not disappointed. I have straight Indian hair that cannot hold a curl. Somehow she put some curls in this hair and it held for HOURS. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone.

Mackenzie Gray

I came here last week to get my hair trimmed and restyled. My friend recommended I come here, and I don't regret it! My hair looks fuller, more beautiful, and frames my face perfectly! Worth your time and money, I promise! I'm coming here again soon to re color my hair :)

Ruth McNally-Martinez

Beautiful person inside and out. My hair and makeup were perfect on my special day. Thank you so much Biba! I highly recommend!

Oddessa Whitman

I've been coming to Biba for 2 years now. She really knows how to shape natural hair for a healthy grow out. Thanks Biba!

Nikole Koterski

So wonderful!...Biba gave me a lovely cut and a kind of Lady Di-shaped blow dry that held out for days and days...felt like a doll for my whole stay in New O!
